The report is designed to assist consumers with information on the quality of services provided by the airlines. The report is divided into six sections (Flight Delays, Mishandled Baggage, Oversales, Consumer Complaints, Customer Service Reports to the Transportation Security Administration, and Airline Reports of the Loss, Injury, or Death of Animals During Air Transportation). The sections that deal with flight delays, mishandled baggage and oversales are based on data collected by the Department’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The section that deals with consumer complaints is based on data compiled by the OAEP’s Aviation Consumer Protection Division (ACPD). The section that deals with customer service reports to the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is based on data provided by TSA. The section that deals with animal incidents during air transport is based on reports required to be submitted by airlines to the ACPD. Each section of the report is preceded by a brief explanation of how to read and understand the information provided. The report normally is released by the end of the first week of each month. The report is available via the Internet at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/ Norman A. Strickman Director, Aviation Consumer Protection Division Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings 3 FLIGHT DELAYS This section provides information about airline on-time performance, flight Tables 3 and 4 provide information by airport and time of day.

  • PSA Airlines CASE STUDY
    PSA Airlines CASE STUDY PSA Airlines PSA Airlines’ headquarters was originally estab- lished in Dayton in 1985 while it was under the ownership of Piedmont Airlines. Dayton remains headquarters to PSA Airlines, now a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways, that merged with American Airlines in 2013. The airline operates an all-jet fleet and is considered the fastest- growing regional carrier under the American Eagle brand with nearly 3,000 employees operating nearly 700 daily flights to nearly 90 destinations. Since 2014, PSA has doubled its size and, by 2016, operated 150 Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft. As a result of this growth, PSA has expanded its Dayton-based facilities, including a new maintenance hangar that opened in October of 2016. The new, 77,000 square foot hangar is adjacent to PSA’s existing 40,000 square foot operations control center and 6,500 professional learning center located at the Dayton International Airport and is the airline’s largest aircraft maintenance support facility. Dion Flannery, PSA President, stated that the new hanger is…“a testament to our growth, it’s an important infrastructure for us that’s going to last the rest of our days here.” How the City of Dayton (City) and its local partner, Montgomery County Economic Development Services (MCDS) helped PSA Airlines achieve speed-to-market, lower costs, and reduce risk: SPEED TO MARKET: In 2014, when PSA was planning to receive 30 new Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft, the airline needed maintenance facilities for the new aircraft. The City of Dayton presented a schedule that met PSA’s and its parent company’s schedule through a 20-year lease customized to PSA’s needs.

  • 480.693.5729 Us Airways to Reduce Pittsburgh Service in Early 2008
    Contact: 480.693.5729 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE US AIRWAYS TO REDUCE PITTSBURGH SERVICE IN EARLY 2008 Flights Continue to Destinations Customers Fly Most; Operations Control Center; Maintenance Base Remain in Pittsburgh TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 3, 2007 — US Airways (NYSE: LCC) today announced it plans to reduce mainline flying in January from 31 to 22 daily flights, focusing on customers’ preferred destinations, as the airline continues to maximize the financial stability of its Pittsburgh operation. As part of the new schedule, regional flying to smaller cities is expected to be reduced from 77 to 46 daily flights. Most of the expected reductions for smaller cities reflect decisions that we expect to be made by independent regional carriers that develop their own plans and schedules. These carriers have not finalized their schedules so the overall level of Express flying may change. With the reduced schedule, the airline’s flight crew base will close and approximately 500 pilots and flight attendants will now bid for trips that originate from other domiciles within the US Airways system. Also with the new schedule, US Airways mainline airport agents and ramp employees will take over customer service and ground-handling duties for 350 US Airways Express employees at wholly owned carrier PSA Airlines, Inc. Those Express employees, along with about 100 US Airways mainline airport employees, will be offered jobs elsewhere throughout the US Airways system. “We’ve worked very carefully over the past two years to make the right decisions at Pittsburgh for our customers and the airline as a whole, always mindful of the impact those decisions may have on our employees,” said Doug Parker, US Airways chairman and CEO.

Over the years, our resourceful and creative members have come up with exceptional ideas. A great example was created by our Dallas coordina- tor, Captain John Elsey.

The gift cards afford the parents an opportunity enjoy a quiet meal in a stress free environment. The gesture is well received by par- ents and much appreciated. To Captain Elsey and our other members who have shaped our organization, we say “Thank you and keep your contributions coming.” With Appreciation, Ed Faath President, PFK Photos on this page are from the Rock United 5 Concert held again this year at The Buffalo Rose.
